Ah, yes I remember having the root permission denied problem on stock 2.1. When I flashed my first custom ROM, everything worked perfectly fine. I would personally suggest that you flash one of the available custom ROMs that are prerooted.

Then installing this will work for sure.

But if you want to give it another go, boot into the recovery menu, wipe data and cache partitions, and do a hard reset.

Re-root your device using superoneclick and try again.

I would install a custom ROM though, the phone usually performs better with those :P
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Tried, no help...

Will try to wipe and then another reset...
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
I wouldn't get discouraged! Everyone I think goes through the "I'm going to toss my phone against the wall" stage. If it absolutely won't work, check out Lestatious 1.2.6, Kyrillos' 3.3 or Indroid 3.0. The theme will work on all 3 of those custom ROMs and they all come pre-rooted. And they're much better then the stock ROMs.
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Im not giving up yet, no.

I just am afraid to go the Flashing route and install a custom ROM if I can't get this right first. You know what I mean? I don't have the finances to go get a new phone if I brick this. :D
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
So after all the wiping and resetting... I still have the Superuser app there? Do I still re-root it or...?
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
Oh yes I know what you mean. But the people creating custom ROMs test their ROMs nicely before releasing it. I'm using Lestatious' ROM, and it won't brick your phone because it doesn't flash your boot partition.

This way, if the flashing goes wrong, nothing will happen to your phone because your boot partition will remain intact. So you can reflash without a problem. :)

The first time flashing is always the most nerve racking, but really, Odin automates almost everything, you just put in the files, click start, and wait about 10-15 minutes til the phone boots!
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
Yes I would try re-rooting. And try re-installing busybox.
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Okay mate...will do this. But first, do I need to do something to the existing Superuser app. or can I just fire up Superoneclick and hit root?
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
I would remove it if you can. And then re-root. If you can't remove it just try re-rooting!
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Just did. All went as supposed?

[Galaxy 3 General] Kaleptik:
I forget about this one. Put the files on the root of your sdcard.

Type these codes in:

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/Contacts.apk of=/system/app/Contacts.apk
exit
exit

See if that works. If it does, do it for the rest of them.

[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
I will try this in a moment...

But however, something interesting first. Last night, right before bed I navigated to /system/app with root explore. Gave the right permissions and deleted Contacts.apk and Contacts.odex. Then copied the Contacts.apk from sdcard to system/app with the root explorer. The funny part is..it seemed to copy it, but it also said not enough space. Well, it appeared in the list however and when I exited the root explorer, Contacts had appeared in my App drawer. So now I kinda have it. It works bot by opening it from app drawer as well as accessing it from the phone menu. It was not supposed to work like this, was it? But now I have it back one way. Hehe!
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Okay I tried this..and for some reason it gives me this:

c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# dd if=/sdcard/Contacts.apk of=/system/app/Contacts.apk
dd if=/sdcard/Contacts.apk of=/system/app/Contacts.apk
/system/app/Contacts.apk: cannot open for write: Read-only file system
#

So should I first do the "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system" trick?
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
Yes, if you run that command then Lestat's it should work.
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Will try...

But what about the thing that happened before? Now that I got the Contacts.apk in there and it appearing in my App drawer. Is that normal? Can I somehow hide it from there and still have it be usable? Or will it go to it's right place when I try to push it in there again with Lestat's commands?
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
Now that it's in there, can you open your contacts in your app drawer? Or does it force close?
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
It opens just fine. No force closing, no lagging. Works well from the phone dialer too. So it works like it should. Just a weird place for it. :D
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
Lol! Well once you repush the files they'll all show up in your app drawer. Seems to me like it's working :) Now push ALL the files like that and you'll have the theme :)
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
It's a tad weird to have them there, isn't it? Any way to hide them? I saw a button for that in QtADB when I was browsing the files... does it make them unusable?
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
Well I use Go Launcher EX and I can hide them. I'm not sure about the stock launcher though. I don't think there's any option in tw launcher. In Go Launcher I just create a folder called "stock apps" and throw them all inside there.
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
The stock TouchWiz can't do those tricks, no. Might have to look into some other launcher.. Also, Im still missing the Contact buttong from the launcher dock though. Which is not a big deal at all since I can access it from phone anyway. Is that normal or did something go wrong there too? :D Im just one big ball of questions and problems to solve. But Im learning!
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
Sorry it took so long for my response, I had to bus home from work/gym. Haha no problems with the questions, keep them coming :)

But if you long press on your dock, you can actually set add/remove items from the dock. For touchwiz, I think if you go into the app drawer, press and hold on the contacts app, it'll make the app drawer disappear and it'll allow you to place that contacts app on the dock, or on your homescreen.

So you can still do it that way! And then if you place it on your dock I think it will disappear from your app drawer :)
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Aahhaa... I will have to try that onse my G3 is all recharged. That bastard is now loading up after it drained on my way back home. Blasting music all the way. :D

Thanks for all the help bargers, and Lestat too. Much much appreciated!

And thanks bargers, for your theme! :D I like it!
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
Yes I blast my music too!

I hope it works! :)
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Actually it doesn't. Long-pressing does nothing...dragging does nothing except lets me place it on my homescreen...or drag down to the trash can. Ohwell, no biggie! I can survive without it in the dock launcher.
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
Really? You're using the touchwiz launcher right? I would suggest giving Go Launcher EX a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised with it's app drawer/homescreen functionalities.
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Yep, using the stock TW. Gotta look into these launchers at some point...
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Hahaaa! I soved it! I went to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Running > ctwlauncher and then stopped it, cleared data and voila! Dock is now with the new Contacts icon there and it disappeard from app drawer. :D The only thing is that it also cleard all my homescreens and defaulted the app drawer so I need to re-arrange them. However..now we have a solution if someone faces same kind of problems.
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
Haha I never thought of that!

Nice job! :P
[Galaxy 3 General] osbozzy:
1) Use root explorer .. Clicl on teh tab which says " mount system to R/W mode" which is on right top of root explorer before u copy files into \system\app

2) if teh system is not getting into R/W mode , try terminal emulator or sgs tools for getting teh system into R/W mode an then do step 1 again .. Am sure it'd work ..

An as far as teh theming is concerned , u can flash any custom ROM available here ... Or may be u can try metamorphism on any deoxed ROM ..
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
Yes I forgot that the r/w button at the top right is not apparent to everyone who're new to that app ! :P

And I wouldn't try any metamorphs, as they screw up and produce a lot of fc's on the SG3.

Is anyone else noticing it takes longer than usual (for an android phone) to send an SMS? I sent a 5 message long SMS (700+ characters) and it was on "Sending" for almost a minute. I know it takes longer to send longer messages, but on previous phones (D1, Fascinate), the "Sending" process would work in the background - so I can actually do other stuff on the phone while it sends. But the HTC Messaging app sends in the foreground, so I'd have to wait until it finishes sending to continue using the phone. I assume this is just the HTC Messenger app itself?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javawolfpack:
No issue w/ that on my end; however, had issues sending/receiving likely due to a previously discussed issue that a reply to number is sent with the messages initially that results in your friends not being able to reply back. A simple reboot seems to fix that for most people or you can disable that option in the messages menu from what I've read... but hadn't heard anything about delays in sending long messages yet...

Handcent will do that. You can fix that with what rox said

If you are using the native default app, I am assuming you mean in the notification bar, you can change that in settings.

You can turn off notifications in stock SMS. You can use Handcent, as others have suggested. GO SMS is a lovely SMS application, too, that I currently love and use and it has the option of a "privacy mode" so that it only reads "New Message" instead of message text.

I have the phone for about a week. And I'm quite impressed with its performance. But a few problems bother me since the very beginning and it's on the edge to be returned/exchanged.

I noticed that the GPS locking is pretty fast, compared to my iphone4 with Navigon. However, Atrix lost GPS connections quite often. Last weekend I drove about 100 miles and I have to restart navigation software 4 or 5 times. Re-launching software does work. It locks GPS signals again every time after I restart software. But if I just let it try to search for GPS signal itself, it would never come back. I also tried to turn off WiFi location service but got the same results.

Also, my finger reader sometimes doesn't work. Once in a while, I have to reboot my Atrix because of this. However, reboot doesn't always work so I actually don't know it's a Motorola software problem or a real hardware failure.

Does anyone have any experience to share? Thanks.

Same issue and won't boot into clockworkmod recovery

I rooted my phone with eclair installed and used clockworkmod recovery with no issues until I one day wanted to go back to stock and attempted a restore of the backup I made right before flashing the OverStock ROM. The phone wouldn't boot, so finally got the Overstock to go back. Phone worked fine for the most part, but from then on to get into recovery mode, required shutting down and using button presses (Up/down vol/PWR button) and it would go in fine. Could never get Clockworkmod to go into recovery mode with a click. Saw that (finally) Samsung has published a Froyo update, so took back to stock eclair using ODIN3 so I could use Kies mini to update. Did a factory reset to remove all old info directories and data. Update went perfect, but want the option to use the rooted apps (Titanium backup and ClockworkMod--purchased apps) to play with my phone as I see fit. Used SuperOneClick to root phone and verified I can get superuser with using terminal emulator, successfully executing "su" command. Problem is I can't get into CWM recovery. Only get "Android system recovery <3e>". Tried uninstalling CWM and reinstalling. Re-Flashed CWM recovery and it lists version 2.5.1.2 as current and latest.

I obviously need CWM recovery to flash different ROMS, but wanted a current backup before starting. Can't get any further until I figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. I was a noob, just a month ago, but was feeling pretty confident until this happened. Guess I'm still a noob, but just a little more dangerous now. :p Thanks in advance.

CWM issues with Milestone

In the last update of the RomManager was added support for version ClockWorkMod 3.x for Milestone - but still unable to use the CWM as standard recovery.

Using another recovery as OR1.4 you can start CMW from the SD card - but that does not solve the problem of RomManager stay with completely limited functions.

The Rom Manager is having updates constantly and I think we have a working version for Milestone soon - but in part I'm upset to see that the Milestone is listed as a supported device - when in fact it is not.

I bought the full version of Rom Manager because I believe it is a great tool and I hope someday I can use all its functions.
